East Bridgewater man arrested and facing child pornography charges
Chief Paul O’Brien reports that an East Bridgewater man was arrested Thursday and is facing child pornography charges.
On October 6, an East Bridgewater Police detective received information that a suspect, later identified as 48-year-old Douglas Hayward of East Bridgewater, was viewing and sending child pornography through the social media application Kik.
Through the subsequent investigation, East Bridgewater Police conducted a search warrant of Hayward’s Bridge Street home on Thursday and seized a computer and iPhone. Images and videos of child pornography were allegedly found on Hayward’s devices and he was placed under arrest.
Hayward was charged with Possession of Child Pornography and Dissemination of Child Pornography.
Hayward was expected to be arraigned today in Brockton District Court.
The investigation remains ongoing and police are conducting a forensic review of Hayward’s devices to determine if there are additional illegal materials.
